Through Royalties for Regions, the equivalent of 25 per cent of the State’s mining and onshore petroleum royalties are returned to Western Australia’s regional areas each year. Each financial year, the Treasurer is to credit to the Royalties for Regions Fund an amount equal to 25 per cent of the forecast royalty income for the financial year. The amount allocated in 2012-13 was $1.22 billion (25 per cent of forecast royalty revenue of $4.87 billion for 2012-13). The amount budgeted to be expended in 2012-13 is $1.07 billion. The Royalties for Regions program continues to provide a framework to support and maintain strong and vibrant regions by funding improved infrastructure and headworks, enabling across-government strategic regional and community services projects, and providing contestable grant funding. Royalties for Regions focuses on delivering benefits to regional areas through six policy objectives: Building capacity in regional communities Retaining benefits in regional communities Improving services to regional communities Attaining sustainability Expanding opportunity Growing prosperity. 6 Royalties for Regions Act 2009 The Department’s Role The Royalties for Regions Act 2009 (Act) was proclaimed on The Department of Regional Development’s Regional Investment Division, 27 March 2010, and provides for the establishment and operation on behalf of the State Government, is responsible for administering the of the Royalties for Regions Fund (Fund).

I beg to submit, for the information of the Honourable the Colonial Treasurer, my Report on the working of the Aborigines Department for the year ended 30th June, 1900, and on the general con- dition of the Aborigines throughout the State, as far as civilisation exists. The amount voted by Parliament last session for the carrying on of my duties was £8,000, which was £1,000 less than the amount voted the previous year, and also £1,000 less than the amount estimated by me to be required. The results were that, in spite of every effort on my part to keep expenditure down, at the end of the year an excess vote of £2,099 had to be asked for. I may say that, with the exception of two months of the year, the accounts had been kept by the Colonial Secretary's Departmental Accountant, and in a great measure this prevented me from having that close grip of the outgoings that I had previously when every account was kept in the Department, and this may in some way explain this large excess.

This sedge has numerous small seeds that were ground into an edible paste. Whilst Martu did not consume sedge and grass seeds in contemporary times, their use was demonstrated to younger people and visitors. ii DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to my parents, Dianne and John Walsh. My mother cultivated my joy in plants and wildlife. She introduced me to my first bush foods (including kurarra, kogla, ‘honeysuckle’, bardi grubs) on Murchison lands inhabited by Yamatji people then my European pastoralist forbearers.1 My father shares bush skills, a love of learning and long stories. He provided his Toyota vehicle and field support to me on Martu country in 1988. The dedication is also to Martu yakurti (mothers) and mama (fathers) who returned to custodial lands to make safe homes for children and their grandparents and to hold their country for those past and future generations.

  • Environmental Guidance for Planning and Development
    Part A Environmental protection and land use planning in Western Australia Environmental Guidance for Part B Biophysical factors Planning and Development Part C Pollution management May 2008 Part D Social surroundings Guidance Statement No. 33 2007389-0508-50 Foreword The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is an independent statutory authority and is the key provider of independent environmental advice to Government. The EPA’s objectives are to protect the environment and to prevent, control and abate pollution and environmental harm. The EPA aims to achieve some of this through the development of environmental protection guidance statements for the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of proposals. This document is one in a series being issued by the EPA to assist proponents, consultants and the public generally to gain additional information about the EPA’s thinking in relation to aspects of the EIA process. The series provides the basis for EPA’s evaluation of, and advice on, proposals under S38 and S48A of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act) subject to EIA. The guidance statements are one part of assisting proponents, decision-making authorities and others in achieving environmentally acceptable outcomes. Consistent with the notion of continuous environmental improvement and adaptive environmental management, the EPA expects proponents to take all reasonable and practicable measures to protect the environment and to view the requirements of this Guidance as representing the minimum standards necessary. The main purposes of this EPA guidance statement are: • to provide information and advice to assist participants in land use planning and development processes to protect, conserve and enhance the environment • to describe the processes the EPA may apply under the EP Act to land use planning and development in Western Australia, and in particular to describe the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process applied by the EPA to schemes.

Despite its importance as a future resource, limited groundwater data is available for the Basin. The main aims of this paper are to provide a detailed understanding of the source of groundwater recharge, the chemical evolution 14 of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and provide groundwater age estimations using radiocarbon ( CDIC). To do this we combine hydrochemical and isotopic techniques to investigate the type of precipitation that recharge the aquifer and identify 14 13 the carbon processes influencing CDIC, d CDIC, and [DIC]. This enables us to select an appropriate model for calculating radiocarbon ages in groundwater. The aquifer was found to be recharged by precipitation originating from tropical cyclones imparting lower average d2H and d18O values in groundwater (À56.9‰ and À7.87‰, respectively).
